Chapter Index

    -Hey, I heard there was a coup in Thailand?

    -Is this the first time something like that has happened in Central and South America?

    -hey. Thailand is in Southeast Asia, you idiot!

    -what? A coup took place in Thailand? Oh, I was planning to go on a trip to Taiwan.

    -Taiwan is not Thailand!

    Sometimes, we don’t care whether there is a war or a coup in another country.

    -Live with some interest!

    -what. If I live with interest, will my life change spectacularly? I’m busy making a living. I don’t know if it’s the US! The United States is interested because I have at least put stocks in Nasdaq. Is there anything you might be interested in?

    -Korean Marine Captain Red Brassard is now training Laplace’s abandoned children with instructors!

    -what? Marine? Ugh, you’re not just spreading Assay to other countries, right?

    Even if things are talked about in the news or on the Internet by interested people, they never spread to the general public.

    -Anyway, the star…wow! Knights of Sephiroth! It’s so cool!

    -The article that came out this time is a very polite guy. Last time, he was a guy who went crazy over his own pride.

    -is it. Is there no such thing as moderation? Is that so…

    However, if this ability becomes a global issue, the story feels different.

    As soon as I got off the private plane, the conversations, smartphones, and earphones of people passing by were filled with information about the Order of Sephiroth.

    Not only in conversations between individuals, but also in the media.

    ” As soon as I arrived at the airport, what I saw in the lobby was an article analyzing the Knights of Sephiroth.”

    After leaving the lobby of Yangyang Airport and arriving in Korea with Yoon Hye-ra, the first Korean broadcast we watched was a current affairs program on the wall-mounted TV.

    [Sephirot, what is it?]

    Since the word or concept of Sephiroth itself is unfamiliar to the general public, the analysts were explaining what Sephiroth is and who Jon Da Art is in an easy-to-understand manner for the general public.

    -So what is Sephiroth, you idiot.

    -The Sephiroth tree is a symbol used in Kabbalah, a mystical sect of Judaism…

    -You don’t need a man who reads the wiki, do you?

    -Tch. Just think of them as ten archangels!

    -Oh, I think I’m getting a vague sense of something.

    This is okay.

    -Then is Dark Charisma also an angel?

    -…You could roughly say that he is an angel who came from the future to save humanity. In that sense, aren’t they angels? If the future is destroyed by demons, God could designate a human being as his only begotten son.

    -A world of extraordinary abilities, a future version of the Second Coming Jesus? It’s complicated.

    If an organization called the ‘Red Guard’ were to cause terrorism in another country, for example the United States, the purpose or principle of its actions could be determined from the name of the Red Guard.

    -Still, unlike the others, the Sephiroth Knights are probably good guys. At least they’re angels, aren’t they meant to fight the devil?

    -If that’s the case, I’m glad.

    In reality, the name may be different, but you can get a sense of its personality to some extent from where it comes from.

    “Oppa. Is there interest in the Knights of Sephiroth in Korea as well?”

    “I guess I showed my strength once by breaking Susanoo’s head in the sea off Busan. I’m satisfied that another Order of Sephiroth has appeared… Wait a minute.”

    Just as I was about to leave the airport lobby, a man holding a red megaphone was screaming loudly.

    “The Knights of Sephiroth are the salvation sent to us by God!!”

    “…….”

    Although it is always seen in places where many people walk around, it was a rare sight in the era of this ability.

    “Have faith in God!”

    [In line with the era of supernatural abilities, we are to deal with demons through S+ level psychics sent from the future to the past. In other words, the demons of this Pandemonium are very dangerous and serious beings…]

    As if intersecting with the man’s shout, a journalist’s analysis from the smartphone of a woman who stopped while passing by us is flowing through the speaker.

    “The devil is everywhere near us! Starting with Douokshini, the world is now facing a demonic threat! Believe it! And let’s all gather here and pray! If you come to our church….”

    Whether or not the analysts’ actual analysis is correct, the effect the leader gained by exposing the Order of Sephiroth to the public is clear.

    “It’s scary… So, you’re saying that the same guy as Doo-Eok-Sini caused that mess in Thailand as well?””

    “When I asked why the goblin went to Thailand, I found out that he was there to execute Duoksini’s friend.”

    “Seeing as there was no specific mention in the association, I think I missed it. Oh, I’m going crazy. Aren’t you coming to Korea because you’re mad?”

    “Hey. Isn’t it okay because Korea has dark charisma?”

    People are agitated.

    Civilians who have heard the story in the media are worried about various things, but those in Korea are worried that the spark will spread to Korea for no reason.

    “Mr. It’s a pain to have demons popping up, but are there many demons that are more serious than monsters like that?”

    “That’s it. Korea is already dead. Since one came out in Thailand, where will it be next?”

    “I guess so? shit. Please come out from another country.”

    In some ways, it is a natural concern.

    “If possible, in the country next door…hehehe.”

    “Why are you saying such scary things?”

    “Well, what do you think? We suffered damage once. It doesn’t matter if it’s just us. It’s okay if it’s not just me!”

    No matter how much of a global village it is, even if there is unrest in Phuket, Thailand and a missile is dropped on the city, it will not have a direct impact on the Korean Peninsula.

    “Hey, honestly, I want to see other Sephiroth articles. Aren’t you curious about what type of person with superpowers came from the future to the past?”

    “Written…. It would be nice if we could make the technology of the future ours. People are now imitating the dark charisma technique.”

    “So. Aren’t there more and more people wearing claws on both hands now? Hehehe.”

    Even if a meteorite falls on the other side of the Earth right now, if the damage from the meteorite has no effect on this side, it is just an issue worth looking at.

    “Oppa. Just let’s go.”

    Hye-ra Yoon grabbed my hand.

    She must have known that I was listening to people’s voices, so she put both hands on my ears and pulled me towards them.

    “There is no need to be stressed by hearing things like that. That’s because I haven’t experienced it myself. Those people will change their minds once they see what happened in Thailand. Right?”

    “…I guess so.”

    “Oppa.”

    “Sometimes I feel that way.”

    I left the airport holding Hye-ra Yoon’s hand.

    The car that Hye-ra Yoon’s subordinates had already prepared was waiting for us in the parking lot, and I put Hye-ra Yoon in the passenger seat and sat in the driver’s seat.

    “They say knowledge is power, but sometimes knowledge is poison.”

    “What you don’t know is medicine?”

    “Yes.”

    That’s what I think.

    I’ve felt that way for a long time every time I encountered the darkness of this world, but every time I encountered this kind of darkness, the ‘main character’ must have been mentally weakened.

    “No matter how mentally strong you are, you still get stressed. Me too. But I feel more stressed now than when I entered the basement of Succubus Island.”

    “When you see people who don’t know anything?”

    “Okay. I’m not saying it’s not their fault, but it’s a bit like that.”

    It may have seemed like the women around him were healing him, but was his heart truly healed every time he saw the terrible human malice he encountered in the world of darkness?

    “Really, this is stressful.”

    Sometimes I feel that way too.

    “There are times when I feel like it’s right to blow it all away.”

    Meteorite was right.

    If all people on Earth were to be euthanized at the same time due to a meteorite impact and the destruction of the Earth, wouldn’t that also provide peace to those suffering all over the Earth?

    There are times when I feel like the answer might be for everyone to go to the afterlife together in harmony.

    but.

    “…Still, I guess the Chairman worries about that more than me, right?”

    My thoughts change when I think of a person who has had more worries, suffered more, and suffered more than me.

    The woman who knew everything about the world and even saw the future did not give up on this world.

    Rather, they decided to form an association and save this world.

    They brought awareness to the world by revealing that they were the Knights of Sephiroth, saying that they would conquer the world on their own and unify the system.

    In that case, I just support and follow the leader’s decision.

    “Hye-ra.”

    “Yes.”

    “If the leader wants to destroy this world instead of conquering it, what will you do?”

    “…Hmm.”

    Hye-ra Yoon, who was booking a boat to Ulleungdo from the passenger seat, laughed.

    “Oppa. Do you know that?”

    Hye-ra Yoon narrowed her eyes at me with an innocent face.

    “Just a year ago… So, just around this time. Before my brother started to make his name known in earnest, we had a conversation like that between us.”

    “What are you talking about?”

    “Can’t we just get rid of everything except one country?”

    Startle.

    “The other executives all agreed. why? Because everyone has been betrayed by humans, the country, and people. I just wanted to get rid of everything.”

    In an instant, the hands holding the steering wheel stopped.

    “Now?”

    “Not anymore.”

    Hye-ra Yoon’s hand brushed my thigh.

    “I have a reason to live. Hehehe.”

    “……That’s a good thing.”

    I held on tightly to the steering wheel.

    “Oppa. Until I go on a boat, I’ll replenish my horsepower.”

    “If there is an inspection in the middle, organize it quickly.”

    “If I told you I was going to Ulleungdo, would you just hand it over?”

    “……..”

    “Stop. …Pass!”

    Lee Waejin.
